TRIBUTE TO SEN. IGNATIUS LONGJANG BY HON EDWARD PWAJOK, SAN, LB

The death of Senator Ignatius Datong Longjan is a big blow to Playeau State and indeed the Country.Though he had been ill for some time , we prayed and hoped for his recovery so he could deliver on the mandate his constituency gave him.Alas, his creator decided this is the time for him to join the Saints triumphant

His humility was legendary .little wonder he was a diplomat per excellence. He did not exhibit any airs in spite of his age and the exalted positions he held .

In this clime where Politicians are perceived as dishonest , HE Longjan stood out for his honesty. I remember how former Governor Jang was shocked when Sen Longjan returned the money he gave him as logistics support for Qua’an Pan when the first PDP primary to elect the party’s Governorship Candidate for the 2007 election was aborted. Little wonder , he was entrusted with the exalted positions of Chief of Staff and Deputy Governor.

For those of us that were privileged to work with him , his memory will remain evergreen . Adieu Sir , and may God comfort his family and the entire state. May his soul Rest In Peace . EDWARD PWAJOK, SAN, LB
